Bellator 202 highlights: Bad news for both fighters after this 58-second knockout

A fight that lasted just 58 seconds sure left some serious injuries in its wake.

In Bellator 202’s much-anticipated co-headliner, former UFC fighter Michael McDonald moved to 2-0 under the Bellator banner, but he could be forced back to the sidelines.

Bellator 202 took place Friday at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla., and it aired on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

In a featured bout, McDonald (19-4 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) stopped former bantamweight champ Eduardo Dantas (20-6 MMA, 10-3 BMMA) with a swarm of first-round punches. Dantas appeared to roll and possibly break his ankle during the KO, and after the fight, McDonald said his future is uncertain because of what he determined was a broken hand.

“I feel like my life is kind of flashing before my eyes when this keeps happening,” said 27-year-old McDonald, who’s been plagued by hand injuries throughout his 11-year pro career. “This is my fifth hand surgery. It’s going to be my fifth hand surgery in five, six years or something like that. It’s not how I want to live my life. That’s not what I was expecting when I signed up for this. It hurts inside.”
